Re: Sony Discman with PS1 laser
Thanks for confirming that is hilarious. There are a finite amount of PSX CDROM drives in the world, even though millions were sold it is my understanding from one of @shadow 's posts that the 'new' chinese drives are horribly done refurbs pulled from whatever dead consoles they can get their hands...

Re: Sony Discman with PS1 laser
As i was disassembling the discman I was hoping that the CDROM drive would be more robust but unfortunately it's was just the crappy all plastic disc drive that the ps1 scph-1001 launched with.

Sony Discman with PS1 laser
Has anyone ever seen this Sony discman player model PRD-150 before? I came across this CD player randomly on ebay and notice it had a disc drive that looked like the one in a PS1 1001 so i bought one and it actually does have a PS1 laser in it.

Re: Alternative PS1 CD Rom drive found.
Just tested two different brands of CD-RW's. Sony and Memorex and all the laser did was click while trying to spin the disc.

Or you can go to aliexpress.com and type "ps1 replacement optical drive conversion board" in the search bar and it will show up that way.

Alternative PS1 CD Rom drive found.
A month a go i was looking for 16pin CD lasers that looked to have the same Sony laser diodes in them to see if they would work on a PS1 and i found this on aliexpress. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804631911287.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.5808af2eb9kOPW&algo_pvid=5826b1a8-0e34-4171-b0ad...
